15th Street Development Phase II | Executive Summary

� Page v

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Walton Communities has retained Real Property Research Group, Inc. (RPRG) to conduct a comprehensive market feasibility analysis of 15th Street Development Phase II, a proposed general occupancy rental community in Augusta, Richmond County, Georgia. As proposed, 15th Street Development Phase II will be financed in part with Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) allocated by the Georgia Department of Community Affairs (DCA) and will contain 90 units.

1.� Project Description

�� 15th Street Development Phase II will be on the site of the former Cherry Tree Public Housing community, which has been demolished. The site is on the east side of 15th Street, north of Swanee Quintet Boulevard and west of Lee Beard Way, just south of downtown Augusta. 15th Street Development Phase II will include 90 general occupancy rental units. The subject property will have 66 LIHTC units including 18 units targeting households earning up to 50 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI), nine of which will have PBRA, and 48 units at 60 percent AMI. The subject will also offer 24 market rate units without income or rent restrictions.

�� 15th Street Development Phase II will offer 27 one-bedroom units, 45 two-bedroom units, and 18 three-bedroom units.

�� A detailed summary of the subject property, including the rent and unit configuration, is shown in the table below.

�� In-unit features offered at the subject property will include a range, refrigerator, dishwasher, garbage disposal, microwave, ceiling fans, crown molding, and washer and dryer connections in each unit. With the exception of the luxury finishes at the much higher priced Canalside, these unit features are comparable to or superior to existing communities in the market area including the LIHTC communities. The subject property will be one of the few communities in the market area with microwaves and crown molding.

15th Street Development Phase II | Executive Summary

� Page v i

�� 15th Street Development Phase II’s community amenity package will include a clubhouse with leasing office, gathering areas, furnished library, laundry facilities, and fitness center. Outdoor amenities will include a playground and sitting areas. These amenities will be generally comparable to existing communities in the market area. The lack of a swimming pool is acceptable due to the small size of the proposed subject property and the lower proposed rents.

2.� Site Description / Evaluation

The subject site is a suitable location for mixed-income rental housing as it is compatible with surrounding land uses and has ample access to amenities, services, employers, and transportation arteries.

�� The subject site is in an established residential neighborhood southwest of downtown Augusta. Single-family detached homes and multi-family rental communities are common within two to three miles of the site.

�� The site is within one to two miles of many community amenities and services including retail, public transit, convenience stores, pharmacies, banks, restaurants, grocery stores, public schools, and medical facilities. The site will have easy access to a number of major thoroughfares, providing access to downtown Augusta and employers. Fort Gordon, the largest concentration of jobs in the county by far, is roughly eight to nine miles west of the site via U.S. Highway 1.

�� The subject site is suitable for the proposed development. No negative land uses were identified that would affect the proposed development’s viability in the marketplace.

�� The redevelopment of a former and recently demolished public housing community on the subject site will improve the condition of the immediate neighborhood.

3.� Market Area Definition

�� The 15th Street Market Area includes the census tracts generally south of downtown Augusta along 15th Street. Although a new housing community may attract residents from beyond this market area, the market area was restricted to the immediate area in an effort to be conservative. The neighborhoods included in the 15th Street Market Area are those areas considered most comparable with the area immediately surrounding the subject site. The market area does not extend further to the east given the large sizes and shapes of the census tracts in this portion of the county. The area immediately east of the market is sparsely developed with a large number of retention ponds and rail yards. The market area also does not extend further to the north or west as these portions of Augusta are newer and not directly comparable to the subject’s immediate neighborhood.

�� The boundaries of the 15th Street Market Area and their approximate distance from the subject site are the Savannah River to the north (2.0 miles), Old Savannah Road to the east (1.1 miles), Interstate 520 to the south (4.1 miles), and Jack Road / Sibley Road to the west (2.9 miles).

4.� Community Demographic Data

The 15th Street Market Area’s population and household base declined moderately in the previous decade but losses have slowed over the past six years and are projected to slow even further over the next two years. It should be noted that the market area is adding renter households while losing owner households.

Page 8: 15th Street Development Phase II Apartments · 15th Street Development Phase II will be on the site of the former Cherry Tree Public Housing community, which has been demolished

15th Street Development Phase II | Executive Summary

� Page v i i

�� The 15th Street Market Area lost 568 people (0.9 percent) and 201 households (0.8 percent) per year between the 2000 and 2010 Census counts. Losses continued, although at a slower pace from 2010 to 2016, with 0.3 percent annual population loss and 0.2 percent annual losses among households.

�� From 2016 to 2018, Esri projects annual population and household decline in the 15th Street Market Area to slow even further to 0.2 percent and 0.1 percent, respectively. Esri projects the market area will lose 98 people and 27 households per year over the next two years.

�� Roughly 52 percent of the market area’s population is over the age of 35 including 20.2 percent age 62 or older. Young Adults age 20 to 34 represent 22.3 percent of the 15th Street Market Area population.

�� Approximately 38 percent of all households in the 15th Street Market Area are single person households. One-third of households have at least two adults but no children; most of these households are not married – indicating roommate situations. Roughly 28 percent of households in the market area contain children.

�� The 15th Street Market Area’s 2010 renter percentage was 56.7 percent compared to 45.8 percent in Richmond County. The renter percentage in the market area is projected to increase to 59.9 percent in 2016 and 60.7 percent by 2018; the market area has added 578 renters and lost 935 owners from 2010 to 2016 and is projected to add 179 renters and lose 233 owner households over the next two years.

�� Renter householders are generally older in the 15th Street Market Area as renters age 45 or older comprise roughly half of the market area’s renter households; however, the market area does have a significant percentage (24.5 percent) of young adults age 25 to 34.

�� As of 2010, over two-thirds (67.3 percent) of all renter households in the 15th Street Market Area contained one or two persons including 41.5 percent with one person. Households with three or four persons accounted for 24.1 percent of renter households and large households (5+ persons) accounted for 8.6 percent of renter households.

�� Incomes in the market area are generally modest. The 2016 median income of households in the 15th Street Market Area is $25,586, $10,640 or 29.4 percent lower than the $36,226 median in Richmond County. RPRG estimates that the median income of renter households in the 15th Street Market Area is a modest $16,176; however, a significant percentage of renters earn moderate incomes. Roughly 65 percent of renters in the market area earn less than $25,000 and 23.8 percent earn between $25,000 and $49,999. Approximately 12 percent of renter households in the market area earn $50,000 or more.

5.� Economic Data

Richmond County’s economy is stable with a decreasing unemployment rate and recent job growth.

�� Richmond County’s unemployment has decreased in each of the past four years to 7.0 percent in 2015 from a recession-era peak of 11.3 percent in 2011. The county’s 2015 unemployment rate is the lowest since 2007.

�� The county has added jobs in three of the past four years including growth of 2,838 jobs in 2014, the largest expansion of jobs since 2000. Since 2010, the county has added roughly 6,700 jobs or 6.9 percent.

�� Government is the largest employment sector in Richmond County, accounting for 23.4 percent of all jobs in 2015 Q3 compared to 15.2 percent of total employment nationally; a major driving force of the county’s economy is the Fort Gordon army base.

Page 9: 15th Street Development Phase II Apartments · 15th Street Development Phase II will be on the site of the former Cherry Tree Public Housing community, which has been demolished

15th Street Development Phase II | Executive Summary

� Page v i i i

�� The subject site is proximate to major employers including Fort Gordon which is the county’s largest employer with over 25,000 employees.

�� Between the two large job expansions at Fort Gordon and expansions announced at a number of large companies in Richmond County since 2014, 6,535 total new jobs are expected in the county in the short-term. We identified several companies announcing layoffs since 2014 totaling 1,146 jobs lost.

6.� Project Specific Affordability and Demand Analysis:

�� 15th Street Development Phase II will contain 66 LIHTC units targeting households earning up to 50 percent or 60 percent of the AMI including nine units with PBRA targeting households earning up to 50 percent AMI; twenty-four units will be market rate and will not be income or rent restricted. Although nine units will have PBRA, the affordability analysis has been conducted without this additional subsidy and rents for the nine LIHTC units with PBRA are set at maximum 50 percent AMI LIHTC rents. Income limits will not apply for the units with PBRA; this will significantly increase income qualified renters, thus, lowering affordability capture rates.

�� Without taking into account PBRA, affordability capture rates by floor plan range from 0.2 percent to 2.4 percent. Affordability capture rates are 0.6 percent for the 50 percent AMI units, 1.5 percent for the 60 percent AMI units, 1.7 percent for all LIHTC units, and 0.9 percent for the market rate units. Overall, 5,255 renter households are income qualified for one or more of the proposed units resulting in an overall affordability capture rate of 1.7 percent.

�� All affordability capture rates are well within reasonable and achievable levels for a general occupancy community. Income limits will not apply for the nine units with PBRA; this will significantly increase income qualified renters, thus, lowering affordability capture rates.

�� Without taking into account PBRA on any units, 15th Street Development Phase II's DCA demand capture rate for the project is 3.1 percent. By floor plan, capture rates range from 1.0 percent to 5.5 percent.

�� As nine units at the subject property will have PBRA and DCA considers all units with PBRA leasable, the effective capture rate for these units is zero percent.

�� All of these demand capture rates are well within DCA’s mandated threshold of 30 percent and indicate sufficient demand to support the proposed development with and without PBRA.

7.� Competitive Rental Analysis

RPRG surveyed 18 multi-family rental communities in the 15th Street Market Area including three LIHTC communities. At the time of our survey, the rental market in the market area was performing very well including all LIHTC communities which were fully occupied with waiting lists.

�� Among the 15 stabilized communities (without PBRA) reporting occupancy, 33 of 1,821 units were vacant for an aggregate vacancy rate of just 1.8 percent. Providence Place is holding 50 units vacant as part of a major renovation and the property manager at Georgian Place did not know occupancy information. The LIHTC communities were all fully occupied with waiting lists on at least select units. Among all communities without PBRA, 12 reported a vacancy rate of less than two percent including nine that were fully occupied.

�� Among the 17 surveyed communities without PBRA, net rents, unit sizes, and rents per square foot were as follows:

�� One-bedroom effective rents averaged $519 per month. The average one bedroom unit size was 656 square feet, resulting in a net rent per square foot of $0.79.

Page 10: 15th Street Development Phase II Apartments · 15th Street Development Phase II will be on the site of the former Cherry Tree Public Housing community, which has been demolished

15th Street Development Phase II | Executive Summary

� Page ix

�� Two-bedroom effective rents averaged $614 per month. The average two bedroom unit size was 937 square feet, resulting in a net rent per square foot of $0.66.

�� Three-bedroom effective rents averaged $706 per month. The average three bedroom unit size was 1,155 square feet, resulting in a net rent per square foot of $0.61.

�� The “average market rent” was $684 for one bedroom units, $796 for two bedroom units, and $860 for three bedroom units. All proposed LIHTC units at the subject property have rent advantages of at least 25 percent and all proposed market rate rents are at least seven percent below market rent averages in the market area. The overall rent advantage for 15th Street Development Phase II is 26.7 percent.

�� Freedom’s Path, allocated in 2014, is an adaptive reuse of two buildings on the Charlie Norwood VA Medical Center campus. Freedom’s Path will target veterans and will have 78 total units, of which 66 will have Project Based Rental Assistance (PBRA). The 12 fifty percent one-bedroom units without PBRA will be the only units at Freedom’s Path that will be directly comparable to the subject.

8.� Absorption/Stabilization Estimate

�� Based on the product to be constructed and the factors discussed above, we expect 15th Street Development Phase II to lease the market rate and LHTC units without PBRA at an average of 12 units per month; we expect the nine LIHTC units with PBRA to lease as quickly as applications can be processed. As the units with PBRA and the LIHTC/market rate units without PBRA will lease concurrently, the subject property will reach a stabilized occupancy of at least 93 percent within just over six months. Without PBRA on the nine LIHTC units, we would expect the subject to reach a stabilized occupancy of 93 percent within seven months.

�� Given the strong rental market in the 15th Street Market Area and projected renter household growth over the next couple of years, we do not expect 15th Street Development Phase II to have negative impact on existing rental communities in the 15th Street Market Area including those with tax credits.

9.� Overall Conclusion / Recommendation

Based on renter household growth, low affordability and demand capture rates, and strong rental market conditions, sufficient demand exists to support the proposed units at 15th Street Development Phase II. As such, RPRG believes that the proposed 15th Street Development Phase II will be able to successfully reach and maintain a stabilized occupancy of at least 93 percent following its entrance into the rental market. The subject property will be competitively positioned with the existing market rate and LIHTC communities in the 15th Street Market Area and the units will be well received by the target market. We recommend proceeding with the project as planned.

We do not believe that the proposed development of 15th Street Development Phase II will have a negative impact on the existing LIHTC communities in the market area.

15th Street Development Phase II | Introduction

� Page 1

1.�INTRODUCTION

A.�Overview of Subject

The subject of this report is 15th Street Development Phase II, a proposed 90-unit general occupancy community in Augusta, Richmond County, Georgia. This will be the second phase of a larger redevelopment; the first phase will be an 80-unit senior-oriented rental community, which received an allocation for nine percent Low Income Housing Tax Credits in 2015 but has not started construction. The overall development will ultimately contain 240 general occupancy rental units and 150 senior oriented rental units, but this market study will focus on the 90 units in phase two. Most (66) units at the subject property will benefit from Low Income Housing Tax Credits and target renter households earning at or below 50 percent and 60 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI), adjusted for household size. Nine LIHTC units will have Project Based Rental Assistance (PBRA) through Public Housing. Twenty-four units will be market rate without rent or income restrictions. The master planned 15th Street Development will be located on the site of the former Cherry Tree Public Housing community, which has been demolished.

B.� Purpose of Report

2.�PROJECT DESCRIPTION

A.�Project Overview

15th Street Development Phase II will be on the site of the former Cherry Tree Public Housing community, which has been demolished. The site is on the east side of 15th Street, north of Swanee Quintet Boulevard and west of Lee Beard Way, just south of downtown Augusta. 15th Street Development Phase II will include 90 general occupancy rental units. The subject property will have 66 LIHTC units including 18 units targeting households earning up to 50 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI), nine of which will have PBRA, and 48 units at 60 percent AMI. The subject will also offer 24 market rate units without income or rent restrictions.

B.� Project Type and Target Market

15th Street Development Phase II's LIHTC (nine with PBRA) and market rate units will target very low to moderate income renter households. Given the proposed unit mix of one, two, and three bedroom floor plans, the community will attract a range of households including singles, roommates, couples, and families.

C.� Building Types and Placement

15th Street Development Phase II will comprise two newly constructed, three-story, garden-style residential buildings. Construction characteristics will include wood frame with brick and Hardiplank siding exteriors. An entrance to the subject property will be on 15th Street with the community building near the entrance. 15th Street Development Phase II will be on the northern portion of the overall master-planned community (Figure 1).

The overall redevelopment of the Cherry Tree site will include general occupancy residential buildings to the north and east of two senior-oriented residential buildings, located along Swanee Quintet Boulevard to the south. Parking will be adjacent to each residential building. Access to the residential buildings, community building, and adjacent parking lots will be provided by community access roads which lead to 15th Street.

3.�SITE AND NEIGHBORHOOD ANALYSIS

A.�Site Analysis

1.� Site Location

The subject site is the location of the former Cherry Tree Public Housing community, which has been demolished. The site is on the east side of 15th Street, north of Swanee Quintet Boulevard and west of Lee Beard Way, just south of downtown Augusta, Richmond County, Georgia (Map 1, Figure 2). The site is located between Wrightsboro Road and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, both area thoroughfares are within one-quarter mile of the site.

2.� Existing Uses

The site is a grassy field with scattered trees. The entire site is fenced and contains some large piles of bricks from the former public housing community (Figure 3).

3.� Size, Shape, and Topography

The overall development parcel is rectangular, contains roughly 25 total acres, and is flat.

4.� General Description of Land Uses Surrounding the Subject Site

The site for 15th Street Development Phase II is in an established neighborhood south of downtown Augusta. The neighborhood is primarily residential in nature with commercial/industrial uses along 15th Street and Wrightsboro Road in close proximity to the subject site. Residential uses are generally older single-family detached homes in poor to moderate condition; a number of vacant and boarded up single-family homes are in close proximity to the site as well. A senior LIHTC rental community (Linden Square) is within one-quarter mile of the site to the north on Lee Beard Way. Non-residential uses adjacent to the site include industrial uses west of the site; a large industrial building is vacant just southwest of the subject site on 15th Street. Josey High School and the shuttered Collins Elementary School are both within one-half mile of the subject site. Several churches are within one-half mile of the site including Beulah Grove Baptist Church, just north of the site.

5.� Specific Identification of Land Uses Surrounding the Subject Site

The land uses directly bordering the overall development parcel are as follows (Figure 4):

�� North: Single-family detached homes and Beulah Grove Baptist Church.

�� East: Single-family detached homes.

�� South: Single-family detached homes, Nearby Grocery (a small grocery store), and St. Sinai Baptist

B.�Neighborhood Analysis

1.� General Description of Neighborhood

The subject site is in an established portion of Augusta surrounded by a mixture of residential and commercial/industrial uses. Residential uses are primarily modest single-family detached homes, all of which are of an older vintage; multi-family rental communities are common within a few miles of the site. Existing residential land uses are in varying conditions (well-maintained to some with signs of deferred maintenance) and vacant single-family detached homes and shuttered small businesses are scattered throughout the immediate neighborhood. Industrial/office buildings are common along 15th Street in close proximity to the site and schools and churches are common within two to three miles of the subject site.

The site is just south of Augusta’s Medical District, which is home to the Charlie Norwood VA Hospital, University Hospital, Augusta University, and Paine College. Downtown Augusta is roughly three miles northeast of the site including numerous businesses, restaurants, and community services.

2.� Neighborhood Planning Activities

New development in the immediate area surrounding the site has been limited, given its established nature and lack of undeveloped land; the area is largely built out. Augusta University is developing dormitories for over 700 students within one-half mile of the site. The dorms will be on the east side of 15th Street, north of the site, near the Dental College of Georgia campus and will open in Fall 2016. The Laney Walker/Bethlehem revitalization project is active in and around the subject property’s neighborhood. This project began in 2008 and plans include building new homes and renovating existing homes. New and renovated housing has been completed in Heritage Pine (the first development), Holley Street Commons, and Twiggs Circle. The next area of development, The Foundry Place, is expected to break ground in mid-2016. The redevelopment of the subject property will be one of the larger redevelopments in the immediate neighborhood in the past decade as nearly all new development activity in Augusta has been to the west of downtown near Interstate 520. The demolition of older dilapidated housing and replacement with a new multi-family rental community will benefit the entire neighborhood.

3.� Public Safety

CrimeRisk data is an analysis tool for crime provided by Applied Geographic Solutions (AGS). CrimeRisk is a block-group level index that measures the relative risk of crime compared to a national average. AGS analyzes known socio-economic indicators for local jurisdictions that report crime statistics to the FBI under the Uniform Crime Reports (UCR) program. Based on detailed modeling of these relationships, CrimeRisk provides a detailed view of the risk of total crime as well as specific crime types at the block group level. In accordance with the reporting procedures used in the UCR reports, aggregate indexes have been prepared for personal and property crimes separately as well as a total index. However it must be recognized that these are un-weighted indexes, in that a murder is weighted no more heavily than purse snatching in this computation. The analysis provides a useful measure of the relative overall crime risk in an area but should be used in conjunction with other measures.

Map 2 displays the 2014 CrimeRisk Index for the census tracts in the general vicinity of the subject site. The relative risk of crime is displayed in gradations from yellow (least risk) to red (most risk). The subject site’s census tract and those in the immediately surrounding areas have a higher than average crime risk when compared to the national average, but generally comparable with the established portions of Augusta near downtown. The crime risk surrounding the site is generally consistent with that throughout much of the 15th Street Market Area. Based on the similarity with the surrounding

neighborhood, we do not expect crime or the perception of crime to negatively impact the subject property’s marketability.

Map 2 2014 CrimeRisk, Subject Site and Surrounding Areas

C.� Site Visibility and Accessibility

1.� Visibility

15th Street Development Phase II will be visible from 15th Street which has steady traffic and moderately high traffic volume during peak hours. The subject will also be visible from lesser travelled surface streets including Swanee Quintet Boulevard and Lee Beard Way. The redevelopment of a former public housing community will increase community awareness.

15th Street Development Phase II will be accessible via an entrance on 15th Street. Traffic along 15th Street is steady but problems with accessibility are not expected as a traffic light with a turn lane for southbound traffic is at the proposed entrance to the subject property.

3.� Availability of Public Transit and Inter-Regional Transit

Augusta Public Transit provides comprehensive public transportation services throughout Augusta and Richmond County. Services include fixed route bus service with nine routes, access to ADA Paratransit service, and the Richmond Rural Transit Service. The subject site is on Route 6, which passes along the east side of the subject site on Lee Beard Way.

Augusta is on the south side of Interstate 20, which provides access to Atlanta (east) and Columbia, South Carolina (east). Interstate 520 serves as a perimeter highway/by-pass and forms a horseshoe on the south side of Interstate 20 with the western connection in Georgia and the eastern connection in South Carolina. Major highways serving Augusta and Richmond County include U.S. Highways 1, 25, 78, and 278. 15th Street (State Route 4) provides convenient access from the subject site to downtown Augusta and Interstate 520.

Augusta is served by the Augusta Regional Airport on Highway 56, roughly two miles south of Interstate 520. The airport serves approximately 500,000 people per year and is served by Delta and U.S. Airways. Direct flights are available to Atlanta and Charlotte. Augusta Regional Airport is within seven miles of the subject site.

4.� Accessibility Improvements under Construction and Planned

Roadway Improvements under Construction and Planned

RPRG reviewed information from local stakeholders to assess whether any capital improvement projects affecting road, transit, or pedestrian access to the subject site are currently underway or likely to commence within the next few years. Observations made during the site visit contributed to the process.

The most significant improvement for the subject site is the proposed widening of 15th Street from Milledgeville Road to Government Road (adjacent to the site entrance). The plans include widening 15th Street from two lanes to four lanes and adding a raised landscaped median. Additional plans include sidewalks, separate bike lanes, and cross walks.

Transit and Other Improvements under Construction and/or Planned

None identified.

5.� Environmental Concerns

No visible environmental or other site concerns were identified.

The subject site is within one mile of two convenience stores (Super Express and Short Stop), two banks (Capitol City Bank & Trust and Wells Fargo), and two pharmacies (Medical Villa Pharmacy and CVS), all located along 15th Street. Two full-service grocery stores are within two miles of the site including Kroger, 1.2 miles north of the site on 15th Street. A small neighborhood grocery store, Nearby Grocery, is adjacent to the site on Swanee Quintet Boulevard to the south.

Shoppers Goods

The term “shoppers goods” refers to larger ticket merchandise that households purchase on an infrequent basis and for which they usually comparison shop. The category is sometimes called “comparison goods.” Examples of shoppers’ goods are apparel and accessories, furniture and home furnishings, appliances, jewelry, and sporting goods.

A Family Dollar is within one mile of the site on Central Avenue and a Kmart is 2.4 miles south of the site on Gordon Highway. Augusta’s largest regional shopping area is centered on Augusta Mall at the Wrightsboro Road / Interstate 520 interchange, approximately six miles from the site. Augusta Mall is anchored by Sears, Macy’s, Dillard’s, and JCPenney and includes numerous smaller retailers and a food court. Substantial commercial development, including numerous big-box retailers, is also located throughout this area.

4.� Location of Low Income Housing

A list and map of existing low-income housing in the 15th Street Market Area are provided in the Existing Low Income Rental Housing section of this report, starting on page 43.

E.� Site Conclusion

The subject site is located in an established residential neighborhood, south of downtown Augusta, and will be the product of the redevelopment of a demolished public housing community. The site is convenient to community services, employment centers, and traffic arteries. The site is considered comparable to existing rental communities in the market area and is appropriate for the continued use of affordable rental housing.

15th Street Development Phase II | Market Area Definition

� Page 18

4.�MARKET AREA DEFINITION

A.� Introduction

The primary market area for the proposed 15th Street Development Phase II is defined as the geographic area from which future residents of the community would primarily be drawn and in which competitive rental housing alternatives are located. In defining the 15th Street Market Area, RPRG sought to accommodate the joint interests of conservatively estimating housing demand and reflecting the realities of the local rental housing marketplace.

B.�Delineation of Market Area

The 15th Street Market Area includes the census tracts generally south of downtown Augusta along 15th Street. Although a new housing community may attract residents from beyond this market area, the market area was restricted to the immediate area in an effort to be conservative. The neighborhoods included in the 15th Street Market Area are those areas considered most comparable with the area immediately surrounding the subject site. The market area does not extend further to the east given the large sizes and shapes of the census tracts in this portion of the county. The area immediately east of the market is sparsely developed with a large number of retention ponds and rail yards. The market area also does not extend further to the north or west as these portions of Augusta are newer and not directly comparable to the subject’s immediate neighborhood.

The boundaries of the 15th Street Market Area and their approximate distance from the subject site are:

North: Savannah River ................................................................................. (2.0 miles)

East: Old Savannah Road .............................................................................. (1.1 miles)

South: Interstate 520 ................................................................................... (4.1 miles)

West: Jack Road / Sibley Road ..................................................................... (2.9 miles)

This market area is depicted in Map 4 and the census tracts that comprise the market area are listed on the edge of the map. As appropriate for this analysis, the 15th Street Market Area is compared to Richmond County, which is considered as the secondary market area, although demand will be computed based only on the 15th Street Market Area.

� Page 20

5.�ECONOMIC CONTENT

A.� Introduction

This section of the report focuses primarily on economic trends and conditions in Richmond County, the jurisdiction in which 15th Street Development Phase II will be located. For purposes of comparison, economic trends in Georgia and the nation are also discussed.

B.� Labor Force, Resident Employment, and Unemployment

1.� Trends in County Labor Force and Resident Employment

Richmond County’s labor force remained relatively unchanged from 2004 to 2009 with a small net increase of 1,180 jobs or 1.3 percent. Following this period of little change, the labor force lost workers in five of six years including losses in each of the past four years. Since 2009, the county’s labor force has lost 7,450 workers or 8.2 percent (Table 3).

The number of employed workers in the county has remained relatively steady following a loss of nearly 7,500 employed workers from 2008 to 2010 during the recession. As discussed, the labor force has been decreasing while the employed portion of the labor force has remained steady; these conflicting trends reflect a number of unemployed persons leaving the workforce.

2.� Trends in County Unemployment Rate

The unemployment rate has decreased in four consecutive years to 7.0 percent in 2015 from a recession-era high of 11.3 percent in 2011. The 2015 unemployment rate of 7.0 percent is higher than both state (5.9 percent) and national (5.4 percent) rates; Richmond County’s unemployment rate has consistently been higher than state and national rates since 2004.

C.� Commutation Patterns

According to 2010-2014 American Community Survey (ACS) data, residents of the 15th Street Market Area work in relatively close proximity to their place of residence. Roughly 80 percent of workers residing in the market area spent less than 25 minutes commuting to work and 12.8 percent spent 25 to 34 minutes commuting (Table 4). Less than seven percent of market area workers commuted 35 minutes or more.

Roughly 81 percent of all workers residing in the 15th Street Market Area worked in Richmond County and 10.8 percent worked in another Georgia county. Approximately eight percent of workers in the market area work in another state, most likely South Carolina which is in close proximity to Augusta and the market area.

D.�At-Place Employment

1.� Trends in Total At-Place Employment

Richmond County lost jobs in seven of ten years from 2000 to 2010 with a net loss of 9,374 jobs or 8.8 percent. This losing trend has reversed over the past four years with the net addition of 4,821 jobs from 2011 to 2014 including growth of 2,838 jobs in 2014, the county’s largest increase in jobs since at least 2000. The county has continued to add jobs through the first three quarters of 2015 with 1,867 net jobs (Figure 5). The 104,301 total jobs in the county through the first three quarters of 2015 is the highest total since 2005; the post-recession recovery has been sustained and strong.

As detailed in the line graph on the bottom half of Figure 5, Richmond County has largely underperformed the nation on a percentage basis over the past fourteen years; however, the county has generally matched the nation’s growth since 2009. The county’s rate of growth has exceeded the nation during the past two years.

2.� At-Place Employment by Industry Sector

Government is the largest employment sector in Richmond County, accounting for 23.4 percent of total employment in the third quarter of 2015, a much higher percentage than the 15.2 percent of jobs nationally (Figure 6). The high percentage of government jobs is due in part to Fort Gordon, which is home to the United States Army Cyber Center of Excellence. A major aspect of the Cyber Center of Excellence is the training, education, and development of highly skilled signal, cyber, and electronic warfare professionals supporting operations at the strategic, operational, and tactical level.

The Education-Health, Trade-Transportation-Utilities, Professional-Business, and Leisure-Hospitality sectors each account for roughly 12 to 18 percent of Richmond County’s total jobs while all other sectors each account for less than seven percent of the county’s jobs. Outside of the Government sector, the county has a much higher percentage of jobs in the Education-Health sector. In contrast the county has a much lower percentage of jobs in the Trade-Transportation-Utilities and Financial Activities sectors.

Figure 6 Total Employment by Sector, 2015(Q3)

From 2011 to 2015 (Q3), six sectors added jobs in Richmond County including four of the top five employment sectors (the Trade-Transportation-Utilities, Professional-Business, and Leisure-Hospitality sectors each grew by more than 15 percent while the Education-Health sector grew by 4.1 percent). Gains in these sectors more than offset losses in the five sectors with declines in employment. The largest sector in the county, Government, lost 3.5 percent of its employment base (Figure 7) and the other four sectors losing jobs each accounted for less than seven percent of the county’s jobs.

3.� Major Employers

The largest employer in Richmond County is the U.S. Army base Fort Gordon, which employs over 25,000 people – more than five times larger than the second largest employer (Augusta University with 4,656 employees). Seven of the top ten major employers are part of the Education-Health sector and 11 of the top 20 employers are manufacturers (Table 5). Richmond County’s major employers are generally located within six miles of the subject site (Map 5).

Fort Gordon is the home of the Cyber Center of Excellence. The Cyber Center of Excellence is the U.S. Army's proponent for Cyberspace Operations, Signal/Communications Networks and Information Services, and Electronic Warfare. The center is responsible for developing related doctrine, organizational, training, materiel, leadership/education, personnel, and facility solutions. A major aspect of the center’s mission is the training, education, and development of highly skilled signal, cyber, and electronic warfare professionals supporting operations at the strategic, operational, and tactical levels.

4.� Recent Economic Expansions and Contractions

The most significant economic expansions in the Augusta area are the National Security Agency and the Army’s Cyber Center for Excellence, both headquartered at Fort Gordon (Table 6). The National Security Agency added approximately 1,000 jobs in 2015 to the already 3,000 employed at Fort Gordon. Plans to create a centralized Army Cyber Command headquarters (Cyber Center for Excellence) at Fort Gordon were announced in early 2014 and are expected to create approximately 3,700 jobs by 2019. According to Walter Sprouse with the Augusta Economic Development Authority, Fort Gordon is one of the few military bases in the country that is expanding employment and the creation of the Cyber Center for Excellence is projected to create an additional 7,500 contractor jobs in Richmond County over the next several years. In addition to these two expansions at Fort Gordon, RPRG identified eight large business expansions in Augusta, ranging from 35 new jobs to 450 new jobs. Overall, roughly 6,500 new jobs have been announced since 2014 among the ten employment expansions identified in the county.

Limited layoffs were identified in the Augusta area. Four companies have announced layoffs since 2014 totaling 1,146 jobs lost.

5.� Conclusions on Local Economics

Richmond County’s economy is stable and has shown signs of recent growth. The county has experienced net job growth and decreased unemployment rates over the past four years. Local economics are not expected to negatively impact the ability of the subject property to lease its units given the recent improvements. The expansions of Fort Gordon and a number of large businesses in the county are expected to maintain economic growth in the region over the next several years.

6.�DEMOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS

A.� Introduction and Methodology

RPRG analyzed recent trends in population and households in the 15th Street Market Area and Richmond County using U.S. Census data and data from Esri, a national data vendor that prepares small area estimates and projections of population and households.

B.� Trends in Population and Households

1.� Recent Past Trends

Between 2000 and 2010 Census counts, the population of the 15th Street Market Area decreased by 8.9 percent, from 64,057 to 58,377 people, an annual loss of 568 people or 0.9 percent (Table 7). During the same period, the number of households in the 15th Street Market Area decreased from 26,769 to 24,760 households for an annual loss of 201 households (0.8 percent).

By comparison, the population of Richmond County expanded by 0.4 percent from 2000 to 2010 and the number of households increased by 4.1 percent overall (0.4 percent annually).

2.� Projected Trends

Based on Esri estimates and projections, losses in the 15th Street Market Area have slowed over the past six years as the market area lost 201 people (0.3 percent) and 60 households (0.2 percent) per year from 2010 to 2016. The county added an average of 170 people (0.1 percent) and 205 households (0.3 percent) per year over the same six year period.

The market area is projected to continue trimming losses over the next two years; the market area is projected to lose 98 people (0.2 percent) and 27 households (0.1 percent) per year over the next two years. Richmond County is expected to continue growing modestly including annual household growth of 174 households (0.2 percent) over the next two years.

3.� Building Permit Trends

RPRG examines building permit trends to help determine if the housing supply is meeting demand, as measured by new households. From 2000 to 2009, an average of 660 new housing units were authorized in Richmond County compared to annual growth of 300 households between the 2000 and 2010 census counts (Table 8). The disparity in household growth relative to units permitted is minimal suggesting supply and demand for housing is relatively balanced.

Building permit activity slowed significantly after 2006 (815 units permitted) with an average of 381 units permitted from 2007 to 2013. An average of 726 units has been permitted in the past two years, representing a significant increase that is greater than the average annual permit activity of the past decade. By structure type, 82 percent of all residential permits issued in Richmond County were for single-family detached homes. Multi-family structures (5+ units) accounted for 18 percent of units permitted while buildings with 2-4 units contain less than one percent of permitted units.

C.� Demographic Characteristics

1.� Age Distribution and Household Type

The market area’s population is older than Richmond County’s with median ages of 36 and 33, respectively, due to a higher percentage of Seniors age 62 or older and a lower percentage of all other major age brackets. Adults age 35-61 comprise the largest percentage of the population in both areas at roughly 32 percent and Children/Youth under the age of 20 account for 25.9 percent of people in the market area and 26.8 percent in the county (Table 9). Young Adults (20-34 years) are less common in the market area compared to Richmond County (22.3 percent versus 24.1 percent) and Seniors age 62 or older are more common (20.2 percent versus 17.1 percent).

Table 9 2016 Age Distribution

Single person households are the most common household type in the market area at 38.2 percent of all households compared to Richmond County’s 30.4 percent. Only 28.4 percent of households in the market area had children present, well below the 33.6 percent in Richmond County. Households with at least two adults but no children account for one-third of households in the 15th Street Market Area and 36 percent in Richmond County (Table 10); most households with two or more people (both with and without children) in the market area are non-married households, which includes roommate situations.

Table 10 2010 Households by Household Type

2.� Renter Household Characteristics

The market area has a higher propensity to rent compared to Richmond County as more than half (56.7 percent) of 15th Street Market Area households rented in 2010 compared to 45.8 percent in the county. Between the 2000 and 2010 census counts, the market area added 87 renter households and lost 2,096 owner households resulting in a significantly higher renter percentage. Due to a continued migration away from homeownership, the market area’s renter percentage is estimated to have increased to 59.9 percent in 2016 and is projected to increase further to 60.7 percent in 2018 (Table 11). Although the market area is losing households overall, renter households are steadily increasing; Esri estimates that the market area added 578 renter households and lost 935 owner households from 2010 to 2016 and is projected to add 179 renter households and lose 233 owners over the next two years.

Table 11 Households by Tenure

Renters are generally older in the 15th Street Market Area when compared to Richmond County; adults and seniors age 45 or older comprise roughly half (49.7 percent) of market area renters and 39.9 percent of Richmond County renters (Table 12). Roughly one-third or market area renters are under the age of 35 and 16.2 percent are age 35 to 44.

Table 14 2016 Household Income

The market area has a large proportion of low income renter households; however, a significant percentage of market area renters earn moderate incomes ($25,000 to $74,999). Based on the ACS data income projections, the breakdown of tenure, and household estimates, RPRG estimates that the median income of market area households by tenure are $16,176 for renters and $42,585 for owner households (Table 15). Nearly two-thirds (64.8 percent) of renters earn less than $25,000 including 48 percent earning less than $15,000. Roughly 24 percent of renters earn $25,000 to $49,999 and 7.8 percent earn $50,000 to $74,999.

7.�COMPETITIVE HOUSING ANALYSIS

A.� Introduction and Sources of Information

This section presents data and analyses pertaining to the supply of rental housing in the 15th Street Market Area. We pursued several avenues of research in an attempt to identify multifamily rental projects that are in the planning stages or under construction in the 15th Street Market Area. We contacted planners with the City of Augusta which referred us to their online planning database. In addition, we reviewed the list of recent LIHTC awards from DCA. The rental survey was conducted in April/May 2016.

B.�Overview of Market Area Housing Stock

The renter occupied housing stock in both areas includes a range of housing types with the market area containing a slightly higher percentage of multi-family structures than the county. Multi-family structures with five or more units contain 34.3 percent of rental units in the market area and 32.9 percent of rentals in the county. Single-family detached homes comprise 42.8 percent of market area rental units (Table 16).

Representing the older established areas of Augusta that comprises the market area, the housing stock in the market area is much older than in Richmond County. The renter-occupied housing stock in the 15th Street Market Area has a median year built of 1964 compared to 1977 in the county. Roughly 60 percent of rental units in the market area were built prior to 1970 including roughly one-quarter built prior to 1950. Only 10.1 percent of market area rentals have been constructed since 1990 compared to 28.0 percent in the county. A larger discrepancy exists in owner occupied units as the median year built was 1957 in the market area and 1976 in the county (Table 17); over three-quarters (77.9 percent) of owner occupied units in the market area were built prior to 1970.

According to ACS data, the median value among owner-occupied housing units in the 15th Street Market Area from 2010 to 2014 was $80,511, which is $21,757 or 21.3 percent lower than the Richmond County median of $102,269 (Table 18). ACS estimates home values based upon values from homeowners’ assessments of the values of their homes. This data is traditionally a less accurate and reliable indicator of home prices in an area than actual sales data, but offers insight of relative housing values among two or more areas.

C.� Survey of General Occupancy Rental Communities

1.� Introduction to the Rental Housing Survey

As part of this analysis, RPRG surveyed 18 general occupancy communities in the 15th Street Market Area including 15 market rate communities and three LIHTC communities. Among the LIHTC communities, Cedarwood includes Project Based Rental Assistance (PBRA) on all units. Given 15th Street Development Phase II will have LIHTC units with PBRA, data for Cedarwood is shown for reference purposes; however, it is not included in the overall rental analysis as PBRA contract rents are not necessarily reflective of market conditions. As the subject property will include market rate units, LIHTC units, and LIHTC units with PBRA, all surveyed communities are considered comparable to 15th Street Development Phase II.

� Page 35

The survey includes 2,441 units without PBRA and 184 units with PBRA. The two LIHTC communities without PBRA combine to offer 377 units (Table 19). Profile sheets with detailed information on each surveyed community, including photographs, are attached as Appendix 7.

2.� Location

A majority of surveyed communities are west of the site toward Interstate 520 and a few are north of the site including two in or near downtown Augusta (Map 6). The two highest priced rental communities are the closest communities to the site, both just over one mile from the site. Due to access to community amenities and major transportation arteries, the site’s location is considered generally comparable to all existing communities in the market area.

3.� Size of Communities

The surveyed communities range from 10 to 324 units and average 144 units. The two LIHTC communities without PBRA have 161 units (Forest Brook) and 216 units (Maxwell House). Cedarwood, a LIHTC community with PBRA on all units, has 184 units.

4.� Age of Communities

The surveyed communities in the market area are generally older. With the exception of Canalside, built in 2015, the surveyed communities were built from 1951 to 1986. Among the surveyed communities without PBRA, the average year built is 1977 including two LIHTC communities with an average year built of 1968; however, a number communities have been rehabbed including the two LIHTC communities. Cedarwood, a LIHTC community with PBRA on all units, was built in 1975 and rehabbed in 2007.

5.� Structure Type

Thirteen communities offer garden style units including five that also offer townhomes; three communities offer townhomes only. The two communities in or near downtown are contained in a mid-rise (Canalside) or high-rise (Maxwell House) building.

6.� Vacancy Rates

Among the 15 stabilized communities (without PBRA) reporting occupancy, only 33 of 1,821 units were vacant for an aggregate vacancy rate of just 1.8 percent. Providence Place is holding 50 units vacant as part of a major renovation and the property manager at Georgian Place did not know occupancy information. The majority (12 communities) of surveyed communities reported a vacancy rate of less than two percent including nine that were fully occupied. All three LIHTC communities were fully occupied with a waiting list for at least select units.

7.� Rent Concessions

Three market rate communities reported incentives including reduced rents on select units and $150 to $500 off a 12-month lease.

8.� Absorption History

Canalside opened in May 2015 and leased 104 units in 11 months, an average monthly absorption of nine to 10 units. Canalside offers upgraded features including stainless steel appliances and granite counter tops and charges rents well above the rest of the market.

2.� Unit Features

Twelve communities include dishwashers in each unit and one includes them in select units. Only two communities include a microwave in each unit including Canalside, the highest priced community in the market area. Nine communities include washer and dryer connections in at least select units and Canalside includes a washer and dryer in each unit. Among the two LIHTC communities, Maxwell House offers limited unit features while Forest Brook includes a dishwasher and washer and dryer connections. Outside of Canalside (which offers stainless steel appliances, hardwood flooring in the kitchen and baths, upgraded cabinets, and granite counter tops in half of its units), the market area’s rental housing stock generally offers limited upgraded unit features as they are all at least 30 years old. The much higher rents at Canalside can be attributed to the new construction and far superior upscale unit features. 15th Street Development Phase II’s unit features will be superior to most surveyed communities, the exception being the luxury units at Canalside, as they will be much newer and include a dishwasher, a garbage disposal, a microwave, ceiling fans, and washer and dryer connections in each unit.

3.� Parking

All communities include free surface parking as a standard feature.

4.� Community Amenities

The most common amenities are a swimming pool (eight properties) and a playground (eight properties). Three properties offer tennis courts, two have a clubhouse/community room, two have a fitness room, and two have a business/computer center (Table 21). Among the two LIHTC communities, Maxwell House offers a fitness room and business center while Forest Brook offers a community room, swimming pool, and playground. 15th Street Development Phase II will include a clubhouse with leasing office, gathering areas, furnished library, laundry facilities, and fitness center. Outdoor amenities will include a playground and sitting areas. These amenities will be generally comparable to existing communities in the market area. The lack of a swimming pool is acceptable due to the small size of the proposed subject property.

Table 21 Community Amenities

5.� Unit Distribution

Fourteen surveyed communities reported unit distributions, accounting for 84 percent of the surveyed units. Among these communities, two bedroom units are the most common at 58.4 percent of surveyed units. One bedroom units comprise 33.0 percent of surveyed units and three bedroom units comprise 4.7 percent (Table 22). Two communities offer efficiency units, accounting for 3.9 percent of surveyed units.

6.� Effective Rents

Unit rents presented in Table 22 are net or effective rents, as opposed to street or advertised rents. To arrive at effective rents, we apply adjustments to street rents in order to control for current rental incentives and to equalize the impact of utility expenses across complexes. Specifically, the net rents represent the hypothetical situation where trash removal utility costs are included in monthly rents at all communities, with tenants responsible for other utility costs.

Among all surveyed rental communities without PBRA, net rents, unit sizes, and rents per square foot were as follows:

�� One-bedroom effective rents averaged $519 per month. The average one bedroom unit size was 656 square feet, resulting in a net rent per square foot of $0.79. The range for one bedroom effective rents was $410 to $1,153.

�� Two-bedroom effective rents averaged $614 per month. The average two bedroom unit size was 937 square feet, resulting in a net rent per square foot of $0.66. The range for two bedroom effective rents was $493 to $1,420.

�� Three-bedroom effective rents averaged $706 per month. The average three bedroom unit size was 1,155 square feet, resulting in a net rent per square foot of $0.61. The range for three bedroom effective rents was $650 to $759.

Average effective rents include market rate rents and LIHTC rents at 50 percent and 60 percent of AMI. Rents at Canalside are roughly $600 to $700 higher than all other surveyed units.

Table 22 Unit Distribution, Size, and Pricing

7.� DCA Average Market Rent

To determine average “market rents” as outlined in DCA’s 2016 Market Study Manual, market rate rents were averaged at the most comparable communities to the proposed 15th Street Development Phase II. These include five general occupancy properties in the 15th Street Market Area. It is important to note, “average market rents” are not adjusted to reflect differences in age, unit size, or amenities relative to the subject property. As such, a negative rent differential does not necessary

The “average market rent” was $684 for one bedroom units, $796 for two bedroom units, and $860 for three bedroom units (Table 23). The subject property’s proposed 50 percent AMI rents have rent advantages ranging from 37.0 to 46.6 percent and the proposed 60 percent AMI rents have rent advantages ranging from 25.0 to 31.3 percent. The proposed market rate rents are 7.0 to 12.1 percent lower than market rate averages. The overall rent advantage for 15th Street Development Phase II is 26.7 percent (Table 24).

F.� Multi-Family Pipeline

Based on Georgia DCA LIHTC allocation lists, two communities have been awarded Low Income Housing Tax Credits in the market area over the past two years. The first phase of the 15th Street Development was awarded tax credits in 2015 and will have 80 senior-oriented units. The first phase will not compete with the subject property as the first phase will be age-restricted. Freedom’s Path, allocated in 2014, is an adaptive reuse of two buildings on the Charlie Norwood VA Medical Center campus. Freedom’s Path will target veterans with 78 total units including 66 with Project Based Rental Assistance (PBRA). The 12 fifty percent one-bedroom units will be the only units at Freedom’s Path that will be directly comparable to the subject property as 28 of Freedom’s Path’s units will be efficiencies and 38 units will have PBRA and target households earning up to 60 percent of the Area Median Income. No projects were allocated Low Income Housing Tax Credits in the market area in 2013.

G.�Housing Authority Data

Per Sevi Robinson with the Augusta Housing Authority, the housing authority operates 1,919 public housing units and holds a waiting list of over 3,100 households. The housing authority also manages 4,087 Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers and has 2,644 households on the waiting list.

H.�Existing Low Income Rental Housing

Twenty-five affordable rental communities are in the market area including five LIHTC communities (Table 25). Two LIHTC communities are age restricted and not comparable to the proposed general occupancy units at 15th Street Development Phase II; the three comparable general occupancy LIHTC communities were included in our competitive survey. The balance of the affordable housing stock is deeply subsidized through Public Housing or Section 8 with rents based on a percentage of income; thus, these communities are not directly comparable to the subject property. The location of these communities relative to the subject site is shown in Map 7.

I.� Impact of Abandoned, Vacant, or Foreclosed Homes

Based on field observations, a moderate amount of abandoned / vacant single and multi-family homes exist in the neighborhood surrounding the subject property. In addition, to understand the state of foreclosure in the community around the subject site, we tapped data available through RealtyTrac, a web site aimed primarily at assisting interested parties in the process of locating and purchasing properties in foreclosure and at risk of foreclosure. RealtyTrac classifies properties in its database into several different categories, among them three that are relevant to our analysis: 1.) pre-foreclosure property – a property with loans in default and in danger of being repossessed or auctioned, 2.) auction property – a property that lien holders decide to sell at public auctions, once the homeowner’s grace period has expired, in order to dispose of the property as quickly as possible, and 3.) bank-owned property – a unit that has been repossessed by lenders. We included properties within these three foreclosure categories in our analysis. We queried the RealtyTrac database for ZIP

code 30901 in which the subject property will be located and the broader areas of Augusta, Richmond County, Georgia, and the United States for comparison purposes.

Our RealtyTrac search revealed an uncharacteristic foreclosure rate of 0.83 percent in the subject property’s ZIP Code (30901) in March 2016. In comparison, foreclosure rates were 0.19 percent in Augusta, 0.23 percent in Richmond County, 0.09 percent in Georgia, and 0.08 percent in the nation (Table 26). Outside of March 2016, foreclosures were kept to a minimum in the subject’s Zip Code over the past year; the monthly number of foreclosures in the subject’s ZIP Code ranged from one to 16 from April 2015 to February 2016 before jumping significantly to 70 in March 2016.

While the conversion of foreclosure properties can affect the demand for new multi-family rental housing in some markets, the impact on a primarily affordable housing community is typically limited due to their tenant rent and income restrictions. Furthermore, outside of the unexplained jump in foreclosure activity in March 2016, the number of foreclosures over the past year were not significant. As such, we do not believe foreclosed, abandoned, or vacant single/multi-family homes will impact the subject property’s ability to lease its units.

8.�FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS

A.�Key Findings

Based on the preceding review of the subject project and demographic and competitive housing trends in the 15th Street Market Area, RPRG offers the following key findings:

1.� Site and Neighborhood Analysis

The subject site is a suitable location for mixed-income rental housing as it is compatible with surrounding land uses and has ample access to amenities, services, employers, and transportation arteries.

�� The subject site is in an established residential neighborhood southwest of downtown Augusta. Single-family detached homes and multi-family rental communities are common within two to three miles of the site.

�� The site is within one to two miles of many community amenities and services including retail, public transit, convenience stores, pharmacies, banks, restaurants, grocery stores, public schools, and medical facilities. The site will have easy access to a number of major thoroughfares, providing access to downtown Augusta and employers. Fort Gordon, the largest concentration of jobs in the county by far, is roughly eight to nine miles west of the site via U.S. Highway 1.

�� The subject site is suitable for the proposed development. No negative land uses were identified that would affect the proposed development’s viability in the marketplace.

�� The redevelopment of a former and recently demolished public housing community on the subject site will improve the condition of the immediate neighborhood.

2.� Economic Context

Richmond County’s economy is stable with a decreasing unemployment rate and recent job growth.

�� Richmond County’s unemployment has decreased in each of the past four years to 7.0 percent in 2015 from a recession-era peak of 11.3 percent in 2011. The county’s 2015 unemployment rate is the lowest since 2007.

�� The county has added jobs in three of the past four years including growth of 2,838 jobs in 2014, the largest expansion of jobs since 2000. Since 2010, the county has added roughly 6,700 jobs or 6.9 percent.

�� Government is the largest employment sector in Richmond County, accounting for 23.4 percent of all jobs in 2015 Q3 compared to 15.2 percent of total employment nationally; a major driving force of the county’s economy is the Fort Gordon army base.

�� The subject site is proximate to major employers including Fort Gordon which is the county’s largest employer with over 25,000 employees.

�� Between the two large job expansions at Fort Gordon and expansions announced at a number of large companies in Richmond County since 2014, 6,535 total new jobs are expected in the county in the short-term. We identified several companies announcing layoffs since 2014 totaling 1,146 jobs lost.

3.� Population and Household Trends

The 15th Street Market Area’s population and household base declined moderately in the previous decade but losses have slowed over the past six years and are projected to slow even further over the

Page 59: 15th Street Development Phase II Apartments · 15th Street Development Phase II will be on the site of the former Cherry Tree Public Housing community, which has been demolished

15th Street Development Phase II | Findings and Conclusions

� Page 47

next two years. It should be noted that the market area is adding renter households while losing owner households.

�� The 15th Street Market Area lost 568 people (0.9 percent) and 201 households (0.8 percent) per year between the 2000 and 2010 Census counts. Losses continued, although at a slower pace from 2010 to 2016, with 0.3 percent annual population loss and 0.2 percent annual losses among households.

�� From 2016 to 2018, Esri projects annual population and household decline in the 15th Street Market Area to slow even further to 0.2 percent and 0.1 percent, respectively. Esri projects the market area will lose 98 people and 27 households per year over the next two years.

4.� Demographic Trends

The 15th Street Market Area is generally older with modest incomes and has a relatively large proportion of small households resulting in a high renter percentage when compared to Richmond County. The renter percentage in the market area is projected to increase from 56.7 percent in 2010 to 60.7 percent in 2018; the market area has steadily added renter households and lost owner households since 2000.

�� Roughly 52 percent of the market area’s population is over the age of 35 including 20.2 percent age 62 or older. Young Adults age 20 to 34 represent 22.3 percent of the 15th Street Market Area population.

�� Approximately 38 percent of all households in the 15th Street Market Area are single person households. One-third of households have at least two adults but no children; most of these households are not married – indicating roommate situations. Roughly 28 percent of households in the market area contain children.

�� The 15th Street Market Area’s 2010 renter percentage was 56.7 percent compared to 45.8 percent in Richmond County. The renter percentage in the market area is projected to increase to 59.9 percent in 2016 and 60.7 percent by 2018; the market area has added 578 renters and lost 935 owners from 2010 to 2016 and is projected to add 179 renters and lose 233 owner households over the next two years.

�� Renter householders are generally older in the 15th Street Market Area as renters age 45 or older comprise roughly half of the market area’s renter households; however, the market area does have a significant percentage (24.5 percent) of young adults age 25 to 34.

�� As of 2010, over two-thirds (67.3 percent) of all renter households in the 15th Street Market Area contained one or two persons including 41.5 percent with one person. Households with three or four persons accounted for 24.1 percent of renter households and large households (5+ persons) accounted for 8.6 percent of renter households.

�� Incomes in the market area are generally modest. The 2016 median income of households in the 15th Street Market Area is $25,586, $10,640 or 29.4 percent lower than the $36,226 median in Richmond County. RPRG estimates that the median income of renter households in the 15th Street Market Area is a modest $16,176; however, a significant percentage of renters earn moderate incomes. Roughly 65 percent of renters in the market area earn less than $25,000 and 23.8 percent earn between $25,000 and $49,999. Approximately 12 percent of renter households in the market area earn $50,000 or more.

5.� Competitive Housing Analysis

RPRG surveyed 18 multi-family rental communities in the 15th Street Market Area including three LIHTC communities. At the time of our survey, the rental market in the market area was performing very well including all LIHTC communities which were fully occupied with waiting lists.

�� Among the 15 stabilized communities (without PBRA) reporting occupancy, 33 of 1,821 units were vacant for an aggregate vacancy rate of just 1.8 percent. Providence Place is holding 50 units vacant as part of a major renovation and the property manager at Georgian Place did not know occupancy information. The LIHTC communities were all fully occupied with waiting lists on at least select units. Among all communities without PBRA, 12 reported a vacancy rate of less than two percent including nine that were fully occupied.

�� Among the 17 surveyed communities without PBRA, net rents, unit sizes, and rents per square foot were as follows:

�� One-bedroom effective rents averaged $519 per month. The average one bedroom unit size was 656 square feet, resulting in a net rent per square foot of $0.79.

�� Two-bedroom effective rents averaged $614 per month. The average two bedroom unit size was 937 square feet, resulting in a net rent per square foot of $0.66.

�� Three-bedroom effective rents averaged $706 per month. The average three bedroom unit size was 1,155 square feet, resulting in a net rent per square foot of $0.61.

�� The “average market rent” was $684 for one bedroom units, $796 for two bedroom units, and $860 for three bedroom units. All proposed LIHTC units at the subject property have rent advantages of at least 25 percent and all proposed market rate rents are at least seven percent below market rent averages in the market area. The overall rent advantage for 15th Street Development Phase II is 26.7 percent.

�� Freedom’s Path, allocated in 2014, is an adaptive reuse of two buildings on the Charlie Norwood VA Medical Center campus. Freedom’s Path will target veterans and will have 78 total units, of which 66 will have Project Based Rental Assistance (PBRA). The 12 fifty percent one-bedroom units without PBRA will be the only units at Freedom’s Path that will be directly comparable to the subject.

B.�Affordability Analysis

1.� Methodology

The Affordability Analysis tests the percentage of income-qualified households in the market area that the subject community must capture in order to achieve full occupancy.

The first component of the Affordability Analyses involves looking at the total household income distribution and renter household income distribution among 15th Street Market Area households for the target year of 2018. RPRG calculated the income distribution for both total households and renter households based on the relationship between owner and renter household incomes by income cohort from the 2010-2014 American Community Survey along with estimates and projected income growth by Esri (Table 27).

A particular housing unit is typically said to be affordable to households that would be expending a certain percentage of their annual income or less on the expenses related to living in that unit. In the case of rental units, these expenses are generally of two types – monthly contract rents paid to landlords and payment of utility bills for which the tenant is responsible. The sum of the contract rent and utility bills is referred to as a household’s ‘gross rent burden’. For the Affordability Analysis, RPRG employs a 35 percent gross rent burden. This rent burden only applies for tenants who do not receive

Page 61: 15th Street Development Phase II Apartments · 15th Street Development Phase II will be on the site of the former Cherry Tree Public Housing community, which has been demolished

15th Street Development Phase II | Findings and Conclusions

� Page 49

PBRA. As DCA considers units with PBRA to be leasable, the affordability analysis has been conducted without this additional subsidy on the nine one-bedroom 50 percent AMI units.

The proposed LIHTC units at 15th Street Development Phase II will target renter households earning up to 50 percent and 60 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI), adjusted for household size. Since the market rate units will be serving moderate income households, RPRG assumed that the target market includes future renters earning as much as 80 percent AMI. Maximum income limits are derived from 2015 HUD income limits (per Georgia DCA requirements) for the Augusta-Richmond County, GA-SC MSA and are based on an average of 1.5 persons per bedroom rounded up to the nearest whole number per DCA requirements. Maximum gross rents, however, are based on the federal regulation of 1.5 persons per bedroom. Rent and income limits are detailed in Table 28 on the following page. Minimum income limits will not apply to the proposed LIHTC units with PBRA at the subject property. As DCA considers all proposed PBRA units to be leasable, we have evaluated these units utilizing the maximum allowable 50 percent AMI rent, the most that could be charged without PBRA.

2.� Affordability Analysis

The steps in the affordability analysis (Table 29) are as follows:

�� Looking at the 12 one-bedroom units at 50 percent AMI (combined units with and without PBRA), the overall shelter cost at the proposed rent would be $516 ($378 net rent plus a $138 allowance to cover all utilities except trash removal).

�� By applying a 35 percent rent burden to this gross rent, we determined that a 50 percent one-bedroom unit would be affordable to households earning at least $17,683 per year. A projected 15,116 households in the market area will earn at least this amount in 2018.

�� Based on an average household size of two people, the maximum income limit for a one bedroom unit at 50 percent of the AMI is $23,650. According to the interpolated income distribution for 2018, 13,142 households in the 15th Street Market Area will have incomes exceeding this 50 percent LIHTC income limit.

�� Subtracting the 13,142 households with incomes above the maximum income limit from the 15,116 households that could afford to rent this unit, RPRG computes that an estimated 1,974 households in the 15th Street Market Area fall within the band of affordability for the subject’s one bedroom units at 50 percent AMI. The subject property would need to capture

0.6 percent of these income-qualified households to absorb the proposed 12 one-bedroom unit at 50 percent AMI.

�� RPRG next tested the range of qualified households that are currently renters and determined that 7,004 renter households can afford to rent a one bedroom 50 percent AMI unit at the subject property. Of these, 5,635 have incomes above our maximum income of $23,650. The net result is 1,369 renter households within the income band. To absorb the proposed 50 percent one-bedroom units, the subject property would need to capture 0.9 percent of income-qualified renter households.

�� Using the same methodology, we determined the band of qualified households for the remaining floor plan types and income levels offered at the community. We also computed the capture rates for all units. The remaining renter capture rates by floor plan range from 0.2 percent to 2.4 percent.

�� By income level, renter capture rates are 0.6 percent for 50 percent units, 1.5 percent for 60 percent units, 1.7 percent for all LIHTC units, 0.9 percent for the market rate units, and 1.7 percent for all units.

3.� Conclusions of Affordability

All affordability capture rates are low based on a significant number of income qualified renter households. These capture rates indicate more than sufficient income qualified households to support the proposed units.

C.� Demand Estimates and Capture Rates

1.� Methodology

DCA’s demand methodology for general occupancy communities consists of three components:

�� The first component of demand is household growth. This number is the number of age and income qualified renter households projected to move into the 15th Street Market Area between the base year of 2014 and 2017 based on DCA’s market study guidelines.

�� The next component of demand is income qualified renter households living in substandard households. “Substandard” is defined as having more than 1.01 persons per room and/or lacking complete plumbing facilities. According to ACS data, the percentage of renter households in the primary market area that are “substandard” is 4.0 percent (Table 30). This substandard percentage is applied to current household numbers.

�� The third component of demand is cost burdened renters, which is defined as those renter households paying more than 35 percent of household income for housing costs. According to ACS data, 52.7 percent of the 15th Street Market Area’s renter households are categorized as cost burdened (Table 30).

The data assumptions used in the calculation of these demand estimates are detailed at the bottom of Table 31. Income qualification percentages are derived by using the Affordability Analysis detailed in Table 29.

2.� Demand Analysis

According to DCA’s demand methodology, all comparable units built or approved since the base year (2014) are to be subtracted from the demand estimates to arrive at net demand. Freedom’s Path, allocated in 2014, will target veterans and will have 78 total units, of which 66 will have Project Based Rental Assistance (PBRA). The 12 fifty percent one-bedroom units without PBRA will be the only units at Freedom’s Path that will be directly comparable to the subject. These 12 units have been subtracted from demand estimates.

As nine units at the subject property will have PBRA and DCA considers all units with PBRA leasable, the effective capture rate for these units is zero percent.

In order to test market conditions, we have calculated demand without the proposed PBRA on the nine 50 percent AMI units and rents are set at the maximum allowable LIHTC level for these units. Capture rates are 1.1 percent for the 50 percent units, 2.7 percent for the 60 percent AMI units, 3.0 percent for all LIHTC units, 1.6 percent for the market rate units, and 3.1 percent for the overall project (Table 31). By floor plan, capture rates range from 1.0 percent to 5.5 percent (Table 32).

15th Street Development Phase II | Findings and Conclusions

� Page 55

Table 32 DCA Demand by Floor Plan

D.�Product Evaluation

Considered in the context of the competitive environment, the relative position of 15th Street Development Phase II is as follows:

�� Site: The subject site is acceptable for a rental housing development targeting very low to moderate income renter households. Surrounding land uses are compatible with multi-family development and are appropriate for a mixed-income rental community. The subject site is convenient to major thoroughfares, employment concentrations, and community amenities. The site is generally comparable with existing multi-family communities in the market area.

�� Unit Distribution: The proposed unit mix for 15th Street Development Phase II will offer one, two, and three bedroom units. These floor plans are common in the market area and will be well received by the target market. The subject property will be weighted heavier in three bedroom units than the market; this is acceptable due to the small number of proposed three-bedroom units (18 units) and 32.7 percent of renter households having three or more people. The proposed unit mix is appropriate for the subject property.

�� Unit Size: The proposed unit sizes at 15th Street Development Phase II are 760 square feet for one bedroom units, 1,030 square feet for two bedroom units, and 1,315 square feet for three bedroom units. All proposed unit sizes are larger than market averages and will be among the largest units in the market. The proposed unit sizes for all floor plans will be well received by the proposed target market.

�� Unit Features: In-unit features offered at the subject property will include a range, refrigerator, dishwasher, garbage disposal, microwave, ceiling fans, crown molding, and washer and dryer connections in each unit. With the exception of the luxury finishes at the much higher priced Canalside, these unit features are comparable to or superior to existing communities in the market area including the LIHTC communities. The subject property will be one of the few communities in the market area with microwaves and crown molding.

�� Community Amenities: 15th Street Development Phase II’s community amenity package will include a clubhouse with leasing office, gathering areas, furnished library, laundry facilities, and fitness center. Outdoor amenities will include a playground and sitting areas. These amenities will be generally comparable to existing communities in the market area.

15th Street Development Phase II | Findings and Conclusions

� Page 56

The lack of a swimming pool is acceptable due to the small size of the proposed subject property and the lower proposed rents.

�� Marketability: The subject property will offer an attractive product that is suitable for the target market.

E.� Price Position

As shown in Figure 8, the proposed LIHTC rents are comparable to or lower than existing LIHTC rents at comparable AMI levels in the market area. Taking into account the large units sizes proposed at the subject property, rent per square foot at the subject property will be much lower than all existing LIHTC units at comparable AMI levels. The proposed market rate rents will be positioned between Canalside, the only new luxury rental community surveyed in the market area, and the remaining older market rate communities in the market area. The proposed market rate rents are well below those at Canalside and are just above the highest rents among the remaining older market rate communities. Given the new construction (all market rate communities, with the exception of Canalside, are at least 30 years old), the proposed product (superior unit features to most surveyed communities), and rents well below the top of the market, the proposed rents are appropriate.

� Page 58

F.� Absorption Estimate

Canalside opened in May 2015 and leased 104 units in 11 months, an average monthly absorption of 9.5 units. In addition to the experiences of existing rental communities, the absorption rate for the subject property is based on projected renter household growth, the number of income-qualified renter households projected in the market area, demand estimates, rental market conditions, and the marketability of the proposed site and product.

�� The 15th Street Market Area added 578 renter households over the past six years and is projected to add 179 renter households over the next two years.

�� Over 5,200 renter households will be income-qualified for one of the proposed units at the subject property. The overall affordability capture rate is 1.7 percent.

�� All DCA demand capture rates, both overall and by floor plan, are low and well within acceptable thresholds of 30 percent for all units proposed at 15th Street Development Phase II. The overall demand capture rate is 3.1 percent.

�� The rental market in the 15th Street Market Area is performing very well with a stabilized vacancy rate of just 1.8 percent. All three LIHTC communities are fully occupied with waiting lists.

�� 15th Street Development Phase II will offer an attractive product that is competitive with existing market rate and LIHTC communities in the market area; the proposed product will be well received at the proposed price points.

Based on the product to be constructed and the factors discussed above, we expect 15th Street Development Phase II to lease the market rate and LHTC units without PBRA at an average of 12 units per month; we expect the nine LIHTC units with PBRA to lease as quickly as applications can be processed. As the units with PBRA and the LIHTC/market rate units without PBRA will lease concurrently, the subject property will reach a stabilized occupancy of at least 93 percent within just over six months. Without PBRA on the nine LIHTC units, we would expect the subject to reach a stabilized occupancy of 93 percent within seven months.

G.� Impact on Existing Market

Given the strong rental market in the 15th Street Market Area and projected renter household growth over the next couple of years, we do not expect 15th Street Development Phase II to have negative impact on existing rental communities in the 15th Street Market Area including those with tax credits.

15th Street Development Phase II | Findings and Conclusions

� Page 59

Based on renter household growth, low affordability and demand capture rates, and strong rental market conditions, sufficient demand exists to support the proposed units at 15th Street Development Phase II. As such, RPRG believes that the proposed 15th Street Development Phase II will be able to successfully reach and maintain a stabilized occupancy of at least 93 percent following its entrance into the rental market. The subject property will be competitively positioned with the existing market rate and LIHTC communities in the 15th Street Market Area and the units will be well received by the target market. We recommend proceeding with the project as planned.

We do not believe that the proposed development of 15th Street Development Phase II will have a negative impact on the existing LIHTC communities in the market area.
